BMW 9 Series and All-Electric i6 Sedan May Debut in 2020
BMW may launch its 9 Series luxury coupe and i6 all-electric sedan by 2020 according to a report by Automobile Magazine. Speculations suggest that the 9 Series will be based on the Vision Future Luxury concept showcased by BMW at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show. The BMW i6 will be an electric sedan roughly the size of a 3 Series.

Reports suggest that the BMW 9 Series will be available with multiple powertrain options including a 6-cylinder plug-in hybrid, biturbo V8 or a whopping 650bhp V12 option which may feature in a possible M9 or M960i top-of-the-line, high performance variant. As is the trend with a lot of luxury cars, a fully electric powertrain being developed for the next-generation Rolls Royce Phantom may also find its way onto the 9 Series.
Additionally, BMW is in the process of making an all-electric sedan called the i6 which is likely to be the same size as the BMW 3 Series. The car will be built on a brand-new 'flat-floor' component set developed specifically for BMW's electric offerings. Some of its noticeable specifications include the generous use of weight-saving carbon-fibre and up to 4 electric motors that may be powered by a newly developed lithium-polymer battery pack that is expected to cost half as much as current battery packs but with more than 3 times the capacity.
The 9 Series 4-door coupe is likely to be launched in early 2020, following in the footsteps of the BMW 7 Series which will be due a mid-cycle facelift in 2019. The BMW i6 on the other hand, is expected to launch sometime in mid-2020.
